For me for example its “Eat me - a natural and unnatural history of cannibalism” by Bill Schutt. Its an amazing book that covers cannibalism in animals and then the history of it in humans (cultural, survival & medicinal cannibalism).
I got a lot of “oh why would someone read something like that?” And “that not something fun to read about!” From relatives but my friends enjoyed the stuff that I could tell them about cannibalism!
Common Sense by Thomas Paine (1776).
It was the document that explains the evils of monarchy and arguing that the British government is a bully and it’s stupid for an island to try to rule a continent.
I read it 10 years ago and remember posting on Facebook “Is it weird that I now have a crush on a guy who’s been dead for over 200 years?”
